This is known as an Enduring Ideal deck. The deck's purpose is to stall out until you can safely play Enduring Ideal. Once this is done you can have a lock on the game. Form of the Dragon gives you the ability to burn a creature or opponent for 5 damage at your upkeep. In addition, creatures without flying can't attack you and at the beginning of each end step, no matter what your life is at, you're now at 5. Which seals the deal. 1st Enduring Ideal effect gets you Form of the Dragon, second at your next upkeep gets you Opalescence. You're opponent just took 12 that turn. Its a deck with a severely casual build, but at the time of its creation in extended it was a surprisingly powerful combo deck. Some versions the deck run Isochron Scepter to get around the draw back of the epic ability. Enjoy

Did you make this yourself, or did you netdeck it?
Regardless,I would prefer black control to blue control in this deck. unless you add wall of denial than keep this strat)
Sorin, ftw in this deck. the moment he hits play, auto 10 live for challenger :D yey
Howlingmine+Font of Mythos, that is so cool you keep getting a hand for me to help you discard. :D
Silence, good but I don't really like the card in this deck. It is a SICK drop after a DOJ,WRATH, or Damnation. Without that though, it is a pretty shitty draw.
Mind Twist FTW :D
Avatar of Woe FTW
Recurring Nightmare+Kokusho FTW
Cranial Extraction FTW
Megrim for the LOLZ it is an enchantment.
Vindicate+Mortify FTWFTWFTW
I think black opens up doors and blue closes them for this particular deck.
I like it. Silence keeps your Enduring I deal from being countered or wastes one of theirs at least, leaving yours open. Would like to see Enchanted Evening to make all of your permanents creatures and Greater Auramancy for the mass shroud on all of the man-enchantments. Blue or black makes little difference to me but I think blue is a bit better for the instant speeds. As a side not how did you add hyperlinks to the cards?
i completely forgot no matter what you need Glassdust Hulk 1x at minimum .... or i will walk by and say oh thats cool and all but...
Telemin Performance
i win...
For the sheer overpowering (Timmy :) ) win condition put Sigil of the Empty Throne in. A 4/4 Angel(s) with flying every tun basically wins even without Form of the Dragon out.
This may have gone over my head but why Glassdust Hulk here? It's artifacts, not enchantments.... Reading is tech : )
lol read what Glassdusk Hulk does and read what telemin performance does...
Any creature will do for Telemin. I really think you're confused with Glassdust Hulk. His ability is artifact based, not enchantment. He doesn't get anything from this deck.
Did you just choose to ignore the ridiculously cheap and/or correct color set of the Cycling ability? In fact it is the only card that in these color that is below a two casting cost let alone one of the few appearances of the dualtype cost, in standard. You don't play that creature, you cycle it, and you keep it in so people can't defeat you as easily.
Before you call someone out on not reading, you should try reading it yourself. If there is a Cycling ability, and that is the only thing that could be useful, that is most likely why it is useful.
Collin, not to cause an argument but who is playing Telemin Performance right now? You chose the exact card that shuts down this specific deck. What happens if they're playing Austere Command, Calming Verse, Cleanfall, Cleansing Meditation, or any of the other cards that destroy all enchantments. This deck has a huge weakness creaturewise but its based off of an old netdeck combo.
First off, poeple now run four color jund spiking in blue, because of spreading seas because of USA, and U/W. On top of that people sideboarded Telemin at FNM last friday. With the option people will do what they can, so want to know who sideboards telemin? People that think it will make them win, and against this deck that is what i would do, and i know that i want to win.
So that is a terrible argument if you are trying to make it.
All the points about the mass removal, if it was still U/W keep your counterspells handy. And if it is b/w, it shouldn't be to much of a problem, the mass discard along with the other combos i discussed. The eventual failure should be expected to happen. When it does, their deck should be at such a disadvantage turn-wise, and creature/deck-wise this deck should be able to recover and do it again, while continuing the discard trend.
